Overnight schedule set for Killarney roadworks after major traffic delays

Roadworks on the R876 in Killarney are moving to an overnight schedule following severe traffic delays in the area, Radio Kerry reported. Gardaí in Killarney had previously advised motorists to avoid Park Road because of extremely heavy traffic. [1]

To prevent disruption during peak travel hours, the roadworks will now start at 8pm over the coming days, according to Radio Kerry. Gardaí recommended the shift after the initial daytime work led to major congestion on local routes. [1]

Killarney is a town in County Kerry, Ireland, located on the northeastern shore of Lough Leane near Killarney National Park. The town lies in a lowland valley near the MacGillycuddy's Reeks mountain range and sits along the Ring of Kerry route. [2][3]

The traffic measures follow recent road issues in the surrounding area. As FTMQ News reported earlier, malfunctioning traffic lights at N72 roadworks near Beaufort previously created hazards and led to single-lane standoffs for drivers traveling on the Killorglin-Killarney route. [4]
